Sheriff Paul Penzone of Arizona's Maricopa County says he is resigning in January after serving almost two terms. Penzone's surprise announcement came Monday.
Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone announced Monday that he is resigning in January, a full year before his term ends.
"I think it would be appropriate to depart from the office in January and clear the way so that during the last year of my term going into the election there aren’t distractions,” Penzone said. After roundly defeating Arpaio in the 2016 election, Penzone tore down an outdoor jail, dubbed “Tent City,” that had been widely mocked.
But Penzone said at the news conference that the department remains under a “dark cloud” from Arpaio's tenure.
